Tom Cruise has reportedly organised a free wedding dress for pregnant fiancée Katie Holmes - despite being one of Hollywood's highest paid actors.

The wealthy star has allegedly asked designer pal Giorgio Armani to create a vintage satin gown for Katie.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper "Tom asked Giorgio to design the dress especially and he has had Katie in for several fittings.

"It's unusual for the groom to have a say in the dress but he has had a lot of input.

"It seems Tom has a very clear idea of what he wants."

Last week, it was claimed the smitten couple are planning a beach wedding in Mexico next month because Cruise doesn't want his baby born outside of marriage.

A source said: "Tom's old fashioned. He wants his child to be born in wedlock.

"They both decided on the Ritz-Carlton in Cancun as soon as they got engaged and initially were planning on tying the knot around Christmas. "Katie didn't know that she was pregnant, so their arrangements suddenly had to be changed."
